The tug of war continued for many days and finally I surrendered towards my parent’s wish. I decided to apply for jobs and grab whatever comes instantly without poking much of my nose in the company of my liking or the salary I wanted to get a good start. Anyhow, I started my career in sales which was not my core area of education I have taken. Still I was able to do great in this job. Within a couple of months, I got two awards – Best Newcomer and Top Sales Achiever For The Month. That was a marvelous achievement for me and by now I have become a talk of the team of NCR. Within six months, I was being seen as the next Area Manager. This achievement was being anticipated to fall in my pocket in next six months, the moment I complete my one year. This was a really big achievement for me as I was under my probation period. More so, my peers in the team were straight from sales background whereas I was from science stream.
Still I was not able to fall in love with my job though I was doing it quite sincerely, probably because that was in my blood. Had it been anybody else, he would have seriously thought by now to take it up as a long term career. But I was not able to digest to be in sales for long, even though was performing exceedingly well.
Finally the day arrived when a year was over. I was able to complete my probation successfully, in time. But that was the final call to my first job. A closure at a success point for a change in my career. I decided to join a full time computer course and change my career to that of a software developer.
